This one-day workshop simplifies the technology for beginners and intermediates who want to use their phones for everyday photography and to express creativity. A smartphone camera is a powerful tool for everyday photography, but its ever-changing technology can be challenging to understand and use. Gain confidence in your ability to take an interesting photo using your smartphone. Thuy Senser, an adjunct professor in George Mason University’s School of Art and Design, will teach basic composition; how to bring energy into the frame; photo editing; and more fundamental techniques. Participants must bring a smartphone with a working camera. See dates for which device to bring.
